5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to Chomsky's Work, November 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: CLASS WAR: The Attack on Working People (Audio CD)

Chomsky also shows the hypocrisy and cruelty behind Conservative "liberal-bashing." The section of the book where he describes the true nature of Republican "privatization" is gripping. He describes how "privatization" will essentially hand over more political power to large corporations, who have no regard for our health or well-being. That portion alone makes the book worth the money. This book is good for thawing out Conservatives, and an engaging introduction for those uninterested in politics. As always, Chomsky shows the human face of politics with more honesty and compassion than perhaps any 20th Century American.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, July 30, 1999

Noam is easily THE most intelligent and well-spoken man on the left in this country. As a proud socialist I spent the entire time this cd was in my player riveted. Noam breaks down the steady anihilation of unions by government and business in this country, in a speech that has the passion of Jello Biafra and the fact content of Howard Zinn.

3.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and powerful but Chomsky has done better, May 30, 2002

This is a very good lecture by Mr. Chomsky but he has done better on the same subject. If you are to buy only one of these lectures check out "Free Market Fantasies: Capitalism in the Real World" by Chomsky. It is clearer and more eye opening than this.

This is a very good lecture and delivers nice points but "Free Market Fantasies: Capitalism in the Real World" brings up more issues and realities that the average Joe never gets through the media.
